When you come on FLOSS Weekly, Jonathan here will be my co-host:

Never mind that he doesn't know about bufferbloat on Starlink. He'll get it. And he's a great dude. You should loop him in. He can be helpful. So can his minions.

It came up recently that a lot of folk don't like the idea of dropping
packets as a congestion
control mechanism. Like loss or not... the fundamental paper on this
subject is Van Jacobson and Mike Karels:

"On congestion avoidance and control"

I saved this post a long time ago.

From that piece:

"funding agents looking for high speed,
next-generation networks may forget that research to make slow
things go fast sometimes makes fast things go faster".

Recently I dusted off fq_codel_fast in light of the cache misses
finally showing up
in a 100gbit dual bonded scenario over here:

asked the author to give it a try.





That was a *great* piece of history thx. And he referenced greg
chesson's work on XTP,
( https://grainger.illinois.edu/alumni/distinguished/9560 )

Greg was an early consultant to the bufferbloat project...
he sadly passed before we ever had a chance to jam together.

There is another one about how he crashed Interop, which I don't know where I
put.

More folk should have seen van's codel preso at ietf 84. It was the
very very early days of webrtc.
